[quote=Deepsees]Netting vs Mesh. Netting will have no effect on wind streams... mesh may slow a boat down on a close hall, but I have not seemed to notice it. At 20+ winds and the mesh wet and the normal wave heights associated with that wind, the bow wants to rise some as you pass through the eye. Not enough to cause a control concern.
I have sailed without them... I much prefer them just because they allow more use of the vessel. Unless you are a speed freak I doubt you will notice any loss. My GPS indicates I get upwards to 20 out of a 15 wind. good enough for this sailor.[/quote]
